So here we are again. Another day in lockdown is complete and there are still no bodies under the Low patio…. for now. I suspect my wife is very close to snapping but she is hiding it well. If these updates stop or if they start sounding a bit more feminine please send help althoughContinue reading “DAY 14 – 31 March 2020”

It’s a late post I know, and sorry to those waiting up for their daily hit but it’s been a LONG day! It’s also been a day of reflection, making sure I took some time to mark Sharky’s birthday – can’t believe I’m still running in his memory!Ultimately it is 13th day of this newContinue reading “DAY 13 – 30 March 2020”

Well, another day completed and we are all still going strong. Lockdown as a concept isn’t much fun but with my housemates there’s never a dull moment! With that in mind my top 5 today are all about my kids and their shenanigans today (which will be a source of much relief to my wifeContinue reading “DAY 12 – 29 March 2020”

So apparently it’s the weekend. I genuinely completely forgot and sat with E this morning and did 4 pages of maths and a bunch of reading before my wife asked what on earth I was doing! Clearly I pretended I wasn’t an idiot and was deliberately doing some weekend #HomeSchooling in my capacity as a pushy parent. SomeContinue reading “DAY 11 – 28 March 2020”

Regular readers will be pleased to hear that things are looking up. The sun shone, the birds sang and I realised at around 7.30pm that it was Friday. This lockdown is like Twixmas – no one has the foggiest idea what day of the week it is. It’s either a day we need to goContinue reading “DAY 10 – 27 March 2020”

All is not well in the Low household. Maybe it is possible to have too much of a good thing! Cracks are appearing but to be honest I’m pleasantly surprised it’s lasted this long. Anyway, enough about our garden paving and onto today’s exploits. D was for Dinosaurs today so we had Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures, caveContinue reading “DAY 9 – 26 March 2020”

Well apparently we are over the hump for this week but given I have no clue what day of the week it is, I’m not sure whether that is possible.For Day 3 (C) of #HomeSchooling we plumped for Cake which ended up being kind of obvious. It did mean Steph had to go to Sainsbury’s for essentialContinue reading “DAY 8 – 25 March 2020”

Well today was all about Birds for the purposes of #HomeSchooling. A bit of education, a bit of feeding and a bit of spotting for E. Oh and some lad/dad time teaching M all about the “birds” and how they are always right! Any suggestions for tomorrow for the letter C very welcome… Some observations fromContinue reading “DAY 7 – 24 March 2020”

Well, first day of #HomeSchooling combined with #RemoteWorking and we are all still alive but only just! We started with the letter A (for adventure) with Daddy doing the spelling and reading and Steph was all over the maths tuition! After the big BJ announcement tonight I have given my own address to my household setting out the newContinue reading “DAY 6 – 23 March 2020”

So, another day with the family (better get used to it!) and the 5 things that made me smile today:1. Chatting with our neighbours over the fence (from a safe distance) whilst they bounce on a trampoline 🏘2. The Yorkshire puddings I made for Steph’s tea that actually worked! 🥘 3. Having a video call with Great Grandma Marian andContinue reading “DAY 5 – 22 March 2020”
